If I understand you correctly, you're asking how I can post to two
newsgroups at the same time? After clicking "write" to start the post and
the current newsgroup is automatcally selected, I just click "newsgroups"
and the menu opens up to add other newsgroups. Since my solution--if it
exists--might be from either group, I posted to both simultaneously.



Since you are cross-posting to WLMail it may help to explain how
you did that? Can you add other arbitrary things to that menu?
Then you could add a command line which does WLMail.exe /News ; )


I want to be able
to open WLM as my newsreader from Outlook as I could do with Outlook
Express in XP and Windows Mail since getting Vista. I've tried
everything I
can think of to make WLM the default newsreader but no matter what I do,
Outlook still opens Windows Mail when I click on "news" in the "go" drop
down menu.

Any ideas, anyone?


Use ProcMon and find out what the implementation is. ; )


Good luck

No. I was inferring that the original post was being composed
in an Outlook NG and had added a cross-post to WLMail.
I am replying from the WLMail NG and know nothing
about Outlook's implementation of support for news.

Thank you for confirming my guess. ; }

So obviously "that" should have been interpreted as
meaning: "How did you do (whatever it was you said
that I quoted and you snipped)"...

Oh yes...
